Some weeks ago an editorial appear

Some weeks ago an editorial appeared
in THE RECORD respecting the manner of
conducting the Courts, and condemning
the manner in which cases were put off
and the courts adjourned at the whim of
the presiding judge. That this evil was
very generally felt was shown by the re-
publication of the article in many of the
papers of this State. A recent illustra-
ton of the matter complained of we copy
from the Uaionist- Gdssfte, of Somerville.
It says:
'.Another splendid illustration of the
folly of terms of Court and the need of
law reforms is given in the history of last
weeks Warren county Circuit. There
were AZ causes on the civil list Proba-
bly, 200 clients and witnesses were at Bel
siderc on Tuesday, besides jurors, con-
stables and spectators. A few of the at
torneys. who had their causes marked at
the head of the list were unprepared; the
rest we're not ready for that precise day,
expecting not to be called on; the result
was Chief Justice Beasley dismissed the
term, and every cause went off till next
April. This is Justice with q vengeance. "
The member of the Legislature who
win devise and put through q bill maxi ing
it the duty of Judges to spend reasona-
BILE amount of their time in the courts
over which they sit, and correcting other
court abuses, will deserve well of his
State.

Elephants as Lumbermen.


Lazy and clumsy looking the elephant

object of curiosity. in Asia it IS useful an
animal the horse. and is. indeed, employed in
q variety of ways. There are few. it any, tasks
which horse can be trusted to perform without
careful and constant guidance whereas the ele-
phanr is frequently given as much independence
OF action a man would have for the same
work. This is notably the case in the lumber
yards of Rangoon and Maulmein. where the en-
tire operation of moving and ping the heavy
timber is performed by male elephants without

the log carefully on the pile in its proper place,
the sagacious animal will step back few PAGES,

It will then make any necessary alteration OF

The Fidelity Bank.

CHICAGO, Nov. 26-Colonel Drummond, OF
Cincinnati, has been at work here looking
up the inside facts regarding the collapsed FL
deity Bank of Cincinnati ever since the crash
and was instrumental in the and
Incarceration of the other six conspirators
after President E. L. Harper was Jailed. He
was very uncommunicative regarding the pres
ent status of the banks affairs, but speaking Of
those people who said they would not give ten
cents on the dollar for claims against the Fidel-
ity, Col Drnmmond said he would himself give
at least fifty cents the dollar. OF
there were preferred claims, but at the
same timethere was a great difference in claims.
A man who had deposited money with the FL
dehty simply for safe kee ping would have it al
lowed simply on making PROPER proof to the re-
ceiver. but the man who had put money in the
bank pool to speculate with would have to
prove up his claim in the courts before it would
be allowed. Regarding Josi1 Holmes, Harper's
confidential clerk, under arrest for making
false entries. he said she had undoubtedly done
enough to send her to the penitentiary for
any criminal relations between her and Harper,
but she simple girl in many ways
A smart accountant aud completely under
Harper's control, she would AXE any entries he
said and swear black was white If he told her,
without any idea of the moral wrong involved
1t was probable the courts would blame him for
